As the nation marks the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, we explore well-known and well-hidden historic sites with a lasting impact on the Washington region.

I'm very interested to find out what Civil War landmarks you highlight on today's show. I'll be listening to see what locations that MapMuse.com does not have listed on our mapping website that maps the location and provides information about Civil War sites across the United States so we can add them to our site.
We have quite a few mapped in the DC metro area.
We also sell an iPhone app that also maps and provides information about Civil War battles, sites, and events.
Here are the links to both the map and the iPhone app.
